  1. I'd need a PT test waver.
  2. I have a pair of .357 Blackhawks with the 9mm cylinders. I found the 9mm cylinders to be very tight and unforgiving of slightly bulged cases. They will work but you will need to make sure the rounds are fully seated in the cylinder and that the cylinder spins free. You'll also get some strange looks at the loading table but that's to be expected. The Lee bulge buster kit might be a useful addition to your reloading setup, depending on where you get your 9mm brass.
  3. I use Hoppe's #9 for all my gun cleaning. I buy it by the quart, and it lasts me 4-5 years. I've heard that Ed's Red works well but by the time I buy all the components, I can just by a quart of Hoppe's #9 and be done with it. If there was a group going in together, you might save some money mixing up the Ed's Red.
  4. I check the brass for splits and rocks. If it fits in the shell plate, it's good to go. We aren't loading sniper ammo here.
  5. Did you get that from the Hugh Hefner estate sale?
  6. I look around and maybe they had a point.
  7. China has a number of those death-defying tourist attractions. I'm guessing the civil liability is not really a problem over there.
  8. Georgia's Governor just suspended the state gas tax for 60 days.
  9. After installing those new parts and adjusting them so the case is pushed into the shell plate, you might find that the case feed arm (13716) will not reliably feed cases. This is due to the wear on the bottom of the case feed arm from the "black thingy". I can see Larsen Pettifogger's is worn and shiny from the picture below. The newer case feed arm (Ver. 2) will have an Allen screw adjustment; however, it won't be present on 20-year-old presses. Call Dillon and they can send you a whole new assembly with the Allen screw adjustment. I just went through this learning curve back in January.
  10. Jump the car off and then go to Walmart and buy the battery for 1/2 that price.
  11. This happened in a small town about 10 miles from me. This kid had been building up to the school shooting for quite some time, and everybody seemed to know it was coming. The police had been out to his house and talked to his father about threats and advised the father to keep firearms away from this kid. This kid had a shrine in his bedroom dedicated to school shooters. The list goes on and on. And what does this father do? He buys this deranged 15-year-old kid an AR-15 for Christmas. This case wasn't just a parent making a bad decision. It was criminally reckless conduct, and he knew or should have known that a school shooting was going to be the outcome. That is why he got charged and convicted.
  12. Pig Iron in Georgia has made shotgun targets for many clubs around the Southeast. They look very similar to the ones in your photo. We've bought 40 of them over the years. If you've ever seen the Man on Man shoot off at the Georgia match, those are all Pig Iron targets.
  13. I shot the same Ruger New Model Vaqueros in two or more matches a month for 18 years and I only broke one transfer bar. I can't remember the last match I was at that someone had a transfer bar break. It's obviously not a big problem. If you are looking to short stroke your NMV's, removing the transfer bar and welding up the hammer could be part of the modification. If you're wanting to prevent a future transfer bar break, it's a lot of money to spend to prevent something that doesn't happen very often. You'd be better off spending the money on a backup NMV so if disaster does strike, you've only screwed up one stage and not the whole match.
  14. They can keep their pistols. I need a Remington 870 with an extended mag tube.
